**[00:04] ---**
I hear they're taping
Good Morning Japan here.
**[00:06] ---**
Who's that? Is he famous?
**[00:09] ---**
Despite my appearance,
I'm a sucker for sweets.
**[00:13] ---**
Detective work requires mental exertion.
So you could say that sugar is essential.
**[00:18] ---**
And cut! That's good for now.
**[00:21] ---**
- Okay.
- Right, next is...
**[00:28] ---**
Excuse me. You're Akechi, right?
**[00:31] ---**
The great high school detective!
**[00:34] ---**
Yes, I'm surprised you've heard of me.
**[00:37] ---**
I'm honored.
**[00:39] ---**
Y-Yes, well...
**[00:41] ---**
Also, we've got Phantom Thieves
at our school, but it's probably just rumors.
**[00:48] ---**
Phantom Thieves?
**[02:24] ---**
And where'd you guys get this?
**[02:28] ---**
Well, um...
**[02:30] ---**
B-By chance!
From an acquaintance!
**[02:34] ---**
It was, like, in his closet...
**[02:38] ---**
Um... So will you–
**[02:41] ---**
Here.
**[02:47] ---**
Well, one, two...
**[02:51] ---**
Cheers!
**[02:57] ---**
An explosion of meaty juice!
**[03:02] ---**
Bliss...
**[03:04] ---**
This part's cream cheese!
**[03:07] ---**
- High-class flavor!
- Right?
**[03:10] ---**
This lunch buffet is famous,
even among part-timers.
**[03:15] ---**
Part-timers?
**[03:16] ---**
Huh? Didn't I tell you?
**[03:18] ---**
I do modeling work for magazines.
Only once in a while, though.
**[03:23] ---**
That's our Lady Ann!
**[03:25] ---**
No wonder this restaurant
has a celebrity atmosphere!
**[03:28] ---**
Knock it off. I'm not a celebrity.
**[03:31] ---**
I just wanted to try coming here once.
**[03:34] ---**
10,000 apiece, for a total of 30,000.
**[03:37] ---**
Well, if they overlook the fact
we've got a cat...
**[03:40] ---**
I'm not a cat!
**[03:42] ---**
I guess blowing it all at once
will keep us out of trouble later.
**[03:46] ---**
To think Kamoshida's Treasure would be...
**[03:49] ---**
...a gold medal, huh?
**[03:56] ---**
To Kamoshida, that gold medal
was worth as much as a crown.
**[04:01] ---**
That could be why.
**[04:03] ---**
You mean his past glory?
**[04:05] ---**
So he was desperately clinging to it.
**[04:12] ---**
Well, there wasn't any sense
in us keeping it.
**[04:15] ---**
Since it was basically the embodiment
of his desires, right?
**[04:19] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:20] ---**
It would've been weird to keep it.
**[04:23] ---**
Getting rid of it like this
was the right choice.
**[04:26] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:27] ---**
Thanks to that,
we're able to celebrate like this.
**[04:32] ---**
Do you feel guilty?
**[04:34] ---**
Well, maybe a little.
**[04:37] ---**
That medal was a fake.
It was created from Kamoshida's desires.
**[04:42] ---**
Well, we changed his heart
and set him on the right path,
**[04:47] ---**
so we deserve this little bonus!
**[04:49] ---**
- That makes sense.
- Of course it does, Ren!
**[04:52] ---**
Kamoshida admitted his crimes
and is cooperating with the judicial process.
**[04:56] ---**
Shiho starts rehab next week!
**[04:58] ---**
Everything's working out!
**[05:01] ---**
So let's celebrate
by eating our hearts out!
**[05:03] ---**
Yikes! We've already used up
half of our time!
**[05:05] ---**
Seriously? I haven't had
my fill of beef yet!
**[05:08] ---**
I need to eat my way
through the dessert menu!
**[05:13] ---**
No way I could've held it while they were
cleaning the bathroom downstairs...
**[05:17] ---**
You ate way too much.
What are you, a little kid?
**[05:20] ---**
Takamaki is waiting. Let's get back.
**[05:24] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[05:30] ---**
Pull the car around.
**[05:32] ---**
We'll head back to party headquarters
until the MLIT meeting.
**[05:35] ---**
Yessir.
**[05:36] ---**
Whoa...
**[05:37] ---**
What'd the chief secretary say?
**[05:40] ---**
To wait and see what happens,
and not comment until public view settles.
**[05:45] ---**
That coward...
**[05:47] ---**
Damn gerontocracy with
their noninvolvement,
**[05:49] ---**
resting on their laurels while
being the ruling party.
**[05:52] ---**
Yo, Pops, we were in line here first.
**[05:55] ---**
Have they started a day care?
**[05:58] ---**
Seems the customer base has changed
since I was here last.
**[06:01] ---**
What?! Hey, wait!
**[06:06] ---**
What was his deal?
Acting like a big shot...
**[06:08] ---**
I dunno, but he pissed me off!
Lookin' down on people!
**[06:14] ---**
All right! Now I've got everything–
**[06:14] ---**
I was furious and told my husband–
**[06:18] ---**
Hey! This was expensive!
**[06:20] ---**
You need to be more careful!
**[06:23] ---**
Are you all right?
**[06:24] ---**
This girl just pushed me!
**[06:27] ---**
Who raised her to be like this?
**[06:29] ---**
Liar! You bumped into me!
**[06:32] ---**
Why's she here?
A girl like that doesn't belong.
**[06:34] ---**
Doesn't she have a chaperone?
The child came alone?
**[06:36] ---**
I'm sure she's been
spoiled rotten by her parents.
**[06:38] ---**
Children today...
**[06:44] ---**
What's up? Did somethin' happen?
**[06:49] ---**
Yeah...
**[06:52] ---**
That frickin' sucks!
Even though she bumped into you!
**[06:56] ---**
Sounds like you had
your share of jerks, too.
**[06:58] ---**
Being in a hurry doesn't mean
you get to cut line, right?
**[07:01] ---**
Right.
**[07:03] ---**
It wasn't just Kamoshida.
**[07:05] ---**
Maybe the world is full of adults like that.
**[07:09] ---**
Hey. I've kind of got an idea.
**[07:13] ---**
UNITED FUTURE REP. MASAYOSHI SHIDO (53)
**[07:13] ---**
It pains me to say this,
**[07:15] ---**
but the deterioration of this country's
political systems knows no bounds.
**[07:20] ---**
A fresh wind that brings reform.
That's what the people seek.
**[07:26] ---**
And now the question is raised
if incumbent cabinet ministers should resign.
**[07:32] ---**
It seems you've been
hanging around that boy lately.
**[07:37] ---**
You care this much about
a string of crazy incidents?
**[07:42] ---**
Yes.
**[07:43] ---**
Very well.
**[07:44] ---**
Pursue it if you like.
I'll take responsibility if anything happens.
**[07:49] ---**
Thank you.
**[07:53] ---**
Hey, Morgana.
**[07:55] ---**
Everyone's got a Palace, right?
**[07:58] ---**
Anyone with a strong, distorted desire.
**[08:01] ---**
Same for them havin' a change of heart
if their Treasure gets stolen?
**[08:05] ---**
That'd be the case.
**[08:08] ---**
Then how about this?
**[08:10] ---**
These selfish shitheads
who look down on everyone else...
**[08:14] ---**
I thought we could change the hearts
of those kinds of people.
**[08:20] ---**
You mean continue as Phantom Thieves?
**[08:23] ---**
Yeah!
**[08:25] ---**
As the Phantom Thieves, we could help
people who are in trouble!
**[08:29] ---**
I think if we ignore people in trouble,
I'd go back to being the same as before...
**[08:38] ---**
But how would we actually do it?
**[08:42] ---**
We would steal their hearts again.
**[08:45] ---**
Yeah! I mean, let's give it a try!
**[08:49] ---**
Would the same thing happen again?
**[08:52] ---**
Maybe we could change it!
**[08:55] ---**
The four of us could change this lousy world!
**[08:59] ---**
Yes! Those are the words
I've been waiting for!
**[09:01] ---**
Now I know I did the right thing
by going out of my way to help you!
**[09:05] ---**
Whoa, wait a second.
Don't go running off half-cocked.
**[09:10] ---**
What do you think?
**[09:11] ---**
It'll work, right?
**[09:16] ---**
If we're together, it can.
**[09:18] ---**
Renren!
**[09:19] ---**
When you put it like that...
Yeah, I think it'll work.
**[09:25] ---**
Even if you're just fledglings, this means
we're an actual organization now.
**[09:30] ---**
Fledglings, huh?
That's actually pretty fitting.
**[09:34] ---**
All right, it's settled!
**[09:36] ---**
We'll catch all these shitty adults by surprise,
and make ourselves known to the world!
**[09:45] ---**
You're fine with being our leader, right?
**[09:48] ---**
I can't handle all that responsibility stuff.
**[09:52] ---**
Where's my say in this?
**[09:55] ---**
But Lady Ann made the
recommendation, so I'll allow it.
**[09:59] ---**
Um, Takamaki...
**[10:00] ---**
Just go with Ann.
We're friends by now, aren't we?
**[10:05] ---**
Okay... Ann.
**[10:08] ---**
Good to be working with you, Ren.
**[10:10] ---**
Asshole! You blew me off
when I said it!
**[10:13] ---**
Good to be working with you, Ryuji.
**[10:14] ---**
O-Okay. Now you've got it.
**[10:18] ---**
Then it's decided.
**[10:20] ---**
Ren is the leader. Agreed?
**[10:23] ---**
No objections!
**[10:25] ---**
Let's decide on a name for our group.
**[10:27] ---**
Wouldn't it be cool
to put it on our calling card?
**[10:29] ---**
A cute and gorgeous name.
**[10:32] ---**
How about... "Pink Diamonds"!
**[10:35] ---**
I'm gettin' a little-league baseball
vibe from it.
**[10:38] ---**
Ren, what do you think?
**[10:45] ---**
"The Phantoms."
**[10:47] ---**
No objections!
**[10:51] ---**
So just "Phantom Thieves"
without the "thieves" part?
**[10:57] ---**
All right, so we're officially
a group of phantom thieves,
**[11:01] ---**
but now the issue is how do we
decide on our next target.
**[11:07] ---**
Did I just hear a cat?
**[11:11] ---**
Just my imagination?
**[11:14] ---**
Also, whoever put up the weird graffiti
on the back blackboard,
**[11:17] ---**
erase it after class.
**[11:21] ---**
Hey.
**[11:22] ---**
You checked out my site, right?
**[11:27] ---**
There are many more evil adults
outside of Kamoshida.
**[11:31] ---**
But I'm sure the Phantom Thieves
will do something.
**[11:35] ---**
So I put the site up to
cheer them on in my own way.
**[11:39] ---**
What are you...
**[11:40] ---**
I get it.
**[11:41] ---**
You have nothing to do
with the Phantom Thieves, right?
**[11:45] ---**
Give me some space.
**[11:48] ---**
I did you wrong,
so it's least I can do to apologize.
**[11:53] ---**
Anyway, I'll do my best on my end,
so I'm counting on you!
**[11:59] ---**
Site?
**[12:01] ---**
The culprit responsible for the calling card?
But wasn't that a prank?
**[12:06] ---**
I'd like to identify them so that I may handle
the media and police in a correct fashion.
**[12:13] ---**
I don't like this.
I mean, spying on students...
**[12:18] ---**
I'm asking because
I thought you were my best choice.
**[12:32] ---**
A Phantom Phansite?
**[12:34] ---**
Yeah!
**[12:35] ---**
You guys haven't seen this yet?
**[12:38] ---**
Get with the times!
**[12:39] ---**
What are those comments?
**[12:41] ---**
"Great job, Phantom Thieves."
"Now I can keep going, too."
**[12:44] ---**
"Thank you for giving us hope."
**[12:46] ---**
I thought we'd be ignored,
**[12:48] ---**
but it looks like some people
believe in our calling card.
**[12:52] ---**
It's kind of strange.
**[12:53] ---**
I was desperate just dealing with my own
problems, but seing people say all this...
**[12:58] ---**
I know! It's pretty moving, right?
**[13:02] ---**
Requests?
**[13:04] ---**
Yep, there are plenty of requests for us.
**[13:07] ---**
They want us to change the heart
of this or that nutcase.
**[13:10] ---**
That's it!
**[13:11] ---**
Come with me, you guys!
**[13:13] ---**
I've got something to show you.
**[13:17] ---**
"My friend is a shameless deadbeat,
so I want to make him apologize."
**[13:20] ---**
Rookie! Look for a more serious request!
**[13:23] ---**
What's that, mangy cat?!
**[13:25] ---**
How about this one?
**[13:26] ---**
"I don't know what to do about
my ex who's stalking me.
**[13:30] ---**
His name is Natsuhiko Nakanohara."
**[13:32] ---**
You have good taste, Lady Ann!
**[13:34] ---**
Hey, Ryuji. Next, bring up the Meta-Nav.
**[13:37] ---**
Okay, okay.
**[13:38] ---**
If I recall, I just input the name and place?
**[13:40] ---**
No, not this time.
**[13:42] ---**
The key word is "Mementos."
**[13:46] ---**
Mementos?
**[13:50] ---**
*Your destination has a hit.*
**[13:52] ---**
*Beginning navigation.*
**[13:54] ---**
- Hey, hey, hey!
- Wha...?!
**[13:57] ---**
All right! Follow me!
**[14:06] ---**
You guys are too slow!
**[14:09] ---**
You changed!
**[14:10] ---**
And us, too?!
**[14:13] ---**
Morgana...
**[14:14] ---**
Is this Nakanohara's Palace?
**[14:17] ---**
Man, you adapt fast!
**[14:19] ---**
This is certainly a kind of Palace,
**[14:22] ---**
but it's different from that last one,
in that it's everyone's Palace.
**[14:26] ---**
A Palace as grand as Kamoshida's "castle"
**[14:30] ---**
only forms when a person's wishes
are extremely distorted.
**[14:33] ---**
So, instead of many individual Palaces,
**[14:37] ---**
the general public has
one gigantic shared Palace.
**[14:41] ---**
So that's what this is...
**[14:43] ---**
Mementos.
**[14:45] ---**
When you say shared, you mean
they're all put together?
**[14:49] ---**
Even though they're just strangers?
**[14:51] ---**
Think of it as the "collective unconscious."
**[14:54] ---**
No, never mind.
You wouldn't understand that.
**[14:57] ---**
Asshole! Don't treat me like a fool!
**[14:59] ---**
So, in short,
**[15:01] ---**
we can use this place to change the hearts
of people who don't have a Palace?
**[15:05] ---**
Exactly!
**[15:08] ---**
This means the time has finally come...
**[15:13] ---**
Morgana! Transform!
**[15:21] ---**
A car?!
**[15:22] ---**
No way! How the hell?!
**[15:24] ---**
Among the general public,
**[15:27] ---**
"cat's turning into buses"
is an extremely widespread cognition.
**[15:33] ---**
Why are you driving?!
**[15:36] ---**
Well, I am a car.
Somebody has to drive.
**[15:40] ---**
That's not my point! Well, yes, that too!
**[15:44] ---**
Be quiet! You'll disturb the Shadows.
**[15:48] ---**
Shadows...
**[15:49] ---**
Is that one, too?!
**[15:51] ---**
I said that Mementos is
the Palace of the general public.
**[15:55] ---**
If there's a Palace,
of course there are gonna be Shadows.
**[16:04] ---**
There!
**[16:05] ---**
It's Nakanohara!
**[16:08] ---**
Who are you?
**[16:10] ---**
So you're the stalker, huh?
**[16:12] ---**
Haven't you ever stopped to
consider how your ex feels?
**[16:15] ---**
She's my property!
I can do whatever I want with her!
**[16:21] ---**
What a load of crap.
**[16:23] ---**
We're gonna change the hearts of
all the bastards like you!
**[16:27] ---**
There are plenty of people
far worse than me!
**[16:33] ---**
Wh-Whoa!
**[16:34] ---**
That's right. Madarame...
**[16:37] ---**
He stole everything from me,
but you're letting him off the hook?!
**[16:41] ---**
Madarame?
**[16:43] ---**
You ignore that scumbag...
**[16:46] ---**
So why am I the one
who gets persecuted?!
**[16:54] ---**
Here he comes!
**[16:56] ---**
Get ready!
**[17:04] ---**
All right!
**[17:06] ---**
I was wrong.
**[17:09] ---**
I'll go back into the real me.
**[17:17] ---**
Yes! Next let's check on something!
**[17:24] ---**
*A new area has been confirmed.
Updating guidance information.*
**[17:28] ---**
Just as I thought!
**[17:30] ---**
What is this?
**[17:32] ---**
There's more ahead?
**[17:33] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:35] ---**
This is as far as I got last time I was here.
**[17:38] ---**
It must have opened up because we've
gained some fame from Kamoshida's case.
**[17:45] ---**
The cognition of the masses has changed,
giving us the ability to go deeper.
**[17:49] ---**
It's creepy.
**[17:51] ---**
How big is this place?
**[17:56] ---**
I have no memory of that.
**[17:59] ---**
I don't remember who I am,
or why I'm in this form.
**[18:03] ---**
Really?
**[18:05] ---**
I wanted to solve that mystery so badly
that I wandered through the Metaverse,
**[18:09] ---**
until I got lost in that castle.
**[18:11] ---**
And Kamoshida captured you, huh?
**[18:15] ---**
Mementos is everyone's Palace,
but it's also the source of all Palaces.
**[18:20] ---**
If I can solve this riddle,
**[18:22] ---**
I'm sure I'll return to my human form...
**[18:26] ---**
...my original form.
**[18:30] ---**
So I'm going to be a hard taskmaster,
training you guys to help me!
**[18:34] ---**
- Right!
- Sure!
**[18:36] ---**
Do your worst.
**[18:39] ---**
I have a proposal.
**[18:41] ---**
First!
**[18:42] ---**
From here on, the Phantoms shall
only target real fiends, the bigwigs.
**[18:48] ---**
I'm with you there.
**[18:49] ---**
No objections!
**[18:50] ---**
Second!
**[18:51] ---**
All members must agree
before carrying out a plan.
**[18:55] ---**
It's all for one and one for all.
We share a common destiny.
**[18:59] ---**
So it must be unanimous?
**[19:01] ---**
Yeah!
**[19:01] ---**
Roger!
**[19:08] ---**
All right, you can get dressed.
**[19:08] ---**
TAKEMI MEDICAL CLINIC
**[19:12] ---**
Pulse, blood pressure...
**[19:14] ---**
Your blood test shows
no abnormalities either.
**[19:17] ---**
But where are all the fresh bruises from?
**[19:21] ---**
Do you have some strange part-time job?
**[19:24] ---**
For the Phantom Thieves to go on,
we need a variety of confidants.
**[19:28] ---**
Make friends with her.
**[19:29] ---**
Oh, right. Speaking of part-time jobs...
**[19:35] ---**
You're really risking it,
taking part in these clinical trials...
**[19:39] ---**
You're a real challenger.
**[19:41] ---**
You told me to make friends with her.
**[19:43] ---**
Here.
**[19:45] ---**
I don't want the government to accuse me
of not feeding you properly.
**[19:54] ---**
Is it good?
**[19:55] ---**
But it's a secret recipe.
**[19:57] ---**
Don't expect me to share it for nothing.
**[20:01] ---**
There's an expression that fits here.
**[20:03] ---**
"He who doesn't work, doesn't eat."
**[20:08] ---**
Huh...
**[20:09] ---**
So this is your regular hangout, Sae?
**[20:12] ---**
I wouldn't call her a regular.
**[20:14] ---**
So what brings you here?
**[20:16] ---**
No special reason. I like your coffee.
**[20:23] ---**
Huh? Have we met before?
**[20:27] ---**
I'm Goro Akechi.
**[20:30] ---**
I like this place. It's got a good vibe.
**[20:34] ---**
*Akechi...*
**[20:39] ---**
When you think about it, a detective is
an ambiguous, uncertain thing.
**[20:43] ---**
Don't you agree?
**[20:46] ---**
Taken alone, there's no guarantee
a detective will be valuable to society.
**[20:52] ---**
A couple of things are needed
to be a detective.
**[20:55] ---**
A tough case which only he can solve,
**[20:59] ---**
and the existence of a worthy rival
to make such a case.
**[21:07] ---**
Sorry. Am I boring you?
**[21:10] ---**
*It is him.*
**[21:12] ---**
*That popular detective kid...*
**[22:47] ---**
That's the Phantom Thieves for you!
**[22:49] ---**
Someone in the comments
has already thanked you!
**[22:52] ---**
She says, "Thank you for
changing the heart of my stalking ex."
**[22:56] ---**
What does that have to do with me?
**[22:58] ---**
Right, I know.
It has nothing to do with you, right?
**[23:02] ---**
We've got midterms today.
Did you study?
**[23:06] ---**
Mishima comes on strong, doesn't he?
**[23:08] ---**
Is he a Phantom Thieves fan?
**[23:11] ---**
More like a stalker to me.
**[23:16] ---**
Actually, I feel like I'm being followed.
**[23:19] ---**
What?! Could it be...
**[23:22] ---**
That Akechi guy you two mentioned?
**[23:27] ---**
He doesn't seem sharp enough
to be a detective.
**[23:32] ---**
Stay focused. You're living as
Phantom Thieves and students.
**[23:36] ---**
If your identities are uncovered,
it's end of the line.
**[23:53] ---**
You...
**[23:58] ---**
Who are you?
